Surveying in Jefferson County
Jefferson County is one of Florida's most rural counties, with Monticello serving as a well-preserved antebellum-era county seat. Historic properties in the Monticello Historic District feature legal descriptions dating to territorial Florida and early statehood.
The Aucilla River forms the county's eastern boundary, notable for its karst geology where the river disappears underground and re-emerges multiple times. Riparian surveys along the Aucilla must account for these unusual hydrogeological features.
Large plantation-era land holdings have been subdivided over generations, creating complex deed chains. Survey work typically involves rural estate divisions, conservation easements on former plantation lands, and occasional residential construction near Tallahassee's eastern suburbs.
